“…Large parathyroid cysts, although seen in 0.08% to 2.8% of autopsy specimens, are uncommon clinically, with less than 200 reported cases since Goris performed the first excision in 1905 1–4. De Quervain5 reported the first substernal parathyroid cyst in 1925.…”

“…Diagnosis can be suspected on the basis of a cystic mass on ultrasonography with a fine‐needle aspiration revealing clear, watery fluid. This fluid may show normal or elevated levels of total parathyroid hormone but usually will at least demonstrate an elevated C‐terminal parathormone level 3,10. The calcium level may also be normal or elevated.…”

The differential diagnosis of an anterior mediastinal mass includes lesions involving the thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, lymphatic, nervous, or vascular structures. The most common tumors include benign and malignant tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, and thymus, as well as lymphoma and sarcoma. Cystic lesions usually originate in the thymus, a substernal goiter, or are bronchogenic. We present a case of a large parathyroid cyst causing tracheal deviation that masqueraded as a classic substernal thyroid.
